Get Voter ID Card Maharashtra Online

To receive your voter id card in Maharashtra, you need to be a registered voter and have your name in the latest voter list of your constituency. If you still not have your name included in the electoral roll then you are not eligible for a voter id card or a voter slip and hence you certainly would be unable to cast your vote in the assembly elections of 2014. But, it is never too late. You can still apply for a voter id card in Maharshtra. To get your name in the voters’ list of your constituency, you must fill the election commission of India Form No. 6. Along with this form, you are required to present your various identity documents so as to prove your identity, age, address and D.O.B(date of birth). You can apply for voter registration in Maharashtra without leaving your home. Form No. 6 could very easily be filled online on the CEO website of Maharashtra. Just visit the official web address of the chief election officer which is ceo.maharashtra.gov.in The options ticker on the home page has an option called ‘Online Voter Registration‘. Clicking it would present you all the forms that can be filled online. Since our concern is to get you registered as a voter in Maharashtra Online hence, you must click the very first option on the page which is, ‘Form 6- Inclusion of name of residents electors’.

After clicking on Form 6, you would see the ECI Website registration page where you have input your State(i.e Maharashtra), mobile number and e-mail address. Click ‘proceed’ once done. You would receive a code on your mobile number soon after clicking proceed, enter that code on the current page and then you would be able to access the online version of the form no. 6. You would have an option whether or not to upload the scanned proof documents but you are obligated to upload a passport size photograph of yours(or the applicant’s) in .JPEG format not larger than 35 KB in size. Post completion of the form i.e once you have filled in all the details and uploaded the photo and/or the documents then you can click submit and receive a unique application id for future reference.

You can use the same online form no. 6 if you wish to get your name in the voter list of some other constituency if you have shifted to a new place. In this case you would have to provide details about your previous voter registration(EPIC No., part no., Address, etc.) in the part 4 of the form.
